26 THE HARTFORD COURANT: Sunday, September 23, 1979 Mrs. Butterworth Finds College President's Office Challenge N'V I have enough academic background to be permanent president," she said. "I have administrative background." Mrs. Butterworth holds a bachelor's degree from Connecticut College and a master's degree from Wesleyan University and was a history teacher at the Ethel Walker and Loomis Chaffee schools. She was appointed to the state utilities authority in July 1975 by Gov.

Grasso and elected chairwoman in June 1978. "Here," she said, "the administration of Hartford Col- there is no utility regulation course in the Hartford area. "I think a course like that would be helpful for people to understand what's going on in the utility field," she said. Mrs. Butterworth replaces Joan B.

Davis, who will become assistant to the president of Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Nov.l. The Hartford college's search committee is expected to find a permanent president by September 1980. "No, No, I don't believe I Women, there is an opportunity for women of all ages to start an education in an un-threatening way" she said. There are 108 new students at the Asylum Avenue campus, bringing the total number of women to over 200. "We were oversubscribed in our residences this year and had to find places for the women in neighborhood homes," Mrs.

Butterworth said. "I feel very strongly that there is a place for women's colleges. They produce good leaders, since all the models lege for Women is aimed at giving a good solid educational experience. As a private enterprise it's just more autonomous. I don't have to go through all the red tape that I did atthePUCA." "You just didn't hire anyone for the PUCA unless you went through an agency," she said.

"If the roof leaked in the State Office Building you just moved your desk the roof didn't get repaired." People Emphasized "Here the emphasis is on people, not policy," she said. "At Hartford College for are women," she added. Since the college was founded as a branch of Mount Holyoke, its students have changed. Mrs. Butterworth says more women attending the college are not recent high school graduates.

Many of the students are widows, middle-aged women and women changing careers. "My husband Oliver told me that the variety of the women in his classes brings a certain richness to the learning process -1 think he's right, she said. about a sign hanging in a corner of the room, "Hartford Junior College for Girls." Other Names "It's had other names" during its 40-year history, Mrs. Butterworth said of the two-year college. Mrs.

Butterworth, who was ousted by Gov. Grasso in May as head of the state's Public Utilities Control Authority, spent the summer months making the mental transition back to the academic world, but she hasn't quite given up thoughts of regulating utilities. I'd like to, someday, maybe, teach a course in utility regulation, if there were enough people interested," she said. Mrs. Butterworth says MIRIAM BUTTERWORTH Mrs.

Butterworth's office has other reminders of the college's development. She laughed when asked Home-White Sale. 10 to 30 off draperies and panels. MAKE YOUR WORDS COUNT By STEPHANIE SEVICK Miriam B. Butterworth settled back in her chair in the president's office of the Hartford College for Women, brushed back a wisp of white hair and said she was comfortable back at her old job as an educator.

For the next year, as temporary president of Hartford College for Women, Mrs. Butterworth will add her own chapter to a college history in which the Butterworth name is prominent. Her husband Oliver is a' professor of English at the college, and her father-in-law, Paul Butterworth, is a former chairman of the college's board of trustees. As chief administrator, Mrs. Butterworth will work in Butterworth Hall.

The administration building was given that name in 1960 in recognition, said a citation at the time, of "the large expenditure of time, money, untiring love and devotion to Hartford College" by the Butterworth family.
